I was able to install HUE successfully ,but it fails to start . below is the error i am getting .

Traceback (most recent call last):

@bhara

Change the line 193 below and try to start again.

File:/var/lib/ambari-agent/cache/common-services/HUE/4.6.0/package/scripts/params.py

dfs_namenode_http_address = config['configurations']['hdfs-site']['dfs.namenode.http-address']

dfs_namenode_http_address = 'localhost'

That will give dfs_namenode_http_address a value and get past the error.
